Florida Gators beat writer, Orlando Sentinel

I'm not sure how much I'll be involved, if at all, in this hire as I'll be starting my new gig at CBSSports.com on July 16, but I have been asked to get this process started for whomever might replace me in Orlando/Fort Lauderdale.

Rachel George has done a tremendous job on this highly competitive beat and will be leaving soon for an exciting new opportunity. I could not be more proud of her. Our next UF beat writer will have big shoes to fill and a legacy to maintain (recent UF beat writers for us just during my time at the Sentinel include Rachel, Jeremy Fowler, Dave Curtis, Jeff Darlington and Joe Schad).

A note: DO NOT send your stuff to me. I'm not going to be here much longer. But I will be happy to answer questions as best I can.
